Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs. when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when vigor-
Gus and tranquil, gives its pOssessor no un.
easiness at night. A tonic, to be effective,
should not be a mere appetizer, nor are the
nerves to be strengthened and soothed by the
unaided action of a sedative or a narcotic.
What is required is medicine which invigor-
ates the stomach, and promotes assimilation
of food by the system, by which means the
nervous system as well as other parts of the
ply steal organism, are strengthened. These
are the effects Of HOsIetter's Stomach Bit'ers,
medicine whose reputation is founded firmly
in public confidence, and which physicians
commend for its tonic, antbiliOus and other
properties 1t is used with the best results in
fever and ague, rheumatism, kidneys and
uterine weakness and other naadies.

The Capital. Of Atlanta, Ca, which
was very pronounced in its advocacy Of
the prohibition amendment, as likely to
secure the state against all the evils to
which flesh is heir, is now az pro-
nounced against the prohibition move
ment, as opening the very flood gates Of
free whisky and bringing In its train
evil, only evil and that continually. The
Capital says "Whisky and beer are sold
almost as much as ever, only the city
gets nothing for it. Liquor saloons are
getting to be more numerous than ever.
only the revenues are reduced from $500
to 800, and the property holders will
have to pay the loss" This is the gen.
eral testimony, and the only reason
that high license is objected to is that il
decreases the demand for any prohibit
tive measures.

TIE fate Of the interstate commerce
bill remains unsettled. 1t has gone into
the presidents hands from his attorney
general, who received strong remon-
stranoes against it from leading railroad
lawyers throughout the country. The
consideration Of the bill, snd the opin-
ion Of the attorney general in cabinet,
will, when made public, relieve the
mind Of the country. A veto Ia not
among the impossibilities, although sew
eral news journals speak of it as a law,
dee ming lis veto altogether improbable.
Doubtful things are uncertain. Because
the country demands the relief promised
in the bill, it is no sore sign that dem
ocrstic president will grant 1t.

The Salisbury government does not
seem to contain within itself the ele-
ments necessary to perpetuate its own
existence. Much depends upon the stti-
tude it assumes towards home rule.
Gladstone cares nothing for the honor of
introducing Irish home rule through his
personal administration and will give
all his influence to help carry the meas
ure, ifprOpOsed by the present govern
ment. Unlikely, as this may appear on
the surface, it may be nearer at hand
than 1t is generally considered. The
thinking men of England, Ireland and
Scotland see that the time for giving
home parlaments to both Ireland and
Scotland cannot be long delayed, and
Salisbury is just the man to make an al
lance for that purpose, if be deemed it
necessary for the perpetuation of his
own power. 1t would take the wind out
OF the sails of the liberals and give the
conservatives great hold upon the
country.
